Trump is the elected leader of the US though. There's a huge difference there.

For example, if Trump doesn't step down in 2028 then we should hope someone does take him out.

He does seem to be invading other countries without popular support? One can find a reason (especially post-hoc) to allow, or disallow, any intervention. The US in cases like this just picks whatever is convenient. Dictator matters here, but in Saudi Arabia it doesn't.

Of a electoral system that makes sure that the votes of the few are worth more than those of the plenty. We democracies actually make sure that all votes are worth the same.

The whole system is flawed. We need national popular vote and a proportional representation system put in place.
